>> great question why didn't they have more of these meetings before the october 1st deadline before they got the advice from council? these are folks who are constantly touted for their ability to adapt and use the internet. there is no meeting like this one about capacity about health care.gov with these thinkers and now you have jay carney at the podium today saying here is this executive who has vast experience in dealing with complext problco complex clemco

comproblems. >> we would have much preferred a move successful launch and you know, if that could have been effected by having somebody in this position in the past absolutely we should have had somebody in this potion ssessio the past. mitch mcconnell saying they are not saying why they didn't do it at the beginning to get ahead of these problems. >> ed, even though there have been improvements. he has a credibility problem beyond the policy here that his promises here if you like your plan you can keep it.

the majority of americans believe the president is not trust worthy and when you loose that trust, whether it is a patient and a doctor or a population and their president, it is very hard to regain lou. >> president's approval rating is worse than any second term president. that explains why it is difficult for him now and difficult in 2014 to push his agenda with the public. >> we'll have more on that. thank you so much. >> while the president meets with the tech executives we are waiting for the president himself to sign up for his own signature health care plan. it seems even the white house hasn't done so.

>> the president will purchase insurance. >> he doesn't have to do it. >> the enrollment is still march 31st. >> when we have an update on it we'll provide it to you. >> if it is so great, why isn't the president and the rest of the federal government on it. >> joining me now, fox news contributor. >> are you laughing? >> it is just seeming like nothing can go right with obama care. >> is that why the president hasn't signed up? >> if they are going to come out and say that the president hasn't signed up. they should just have him sign up. >> why hasn't the president signed up? >> i checked with the white house. they are saying that march 31st

is the deadline and that is really all they will say. let's discuss between you and me why he hasn't. could it be because his own premiums might go up? >> i have no idea. i doubt it is the premium issue regardless when he signs up he is going to have to pay it. it is not going to affect his health care because he is taken care of by the white house doctors. this is a political thing he is doing to respond by complaints by doctors. some would say i'm forcing all

americans to do the same. there are a lot of problems with obama care. i don't think the fact that the president has signed up for it. >> they are putting it in thel. it was brought up by republicans. >> you don't believe that the president of the united states is going to be remembered for quite possibly from eight years in office. you don't think that as a role model that. >> i'm talking about -- >> trying to find a doctor right? >> this administration is so into imagery and pr. they are not allowing

photographers to come in and take real photos. wouldn't you think with that in mind that they would have imagery top of mind and have the president say, hey, this program is so great that even i signed up for it? >> i guess, i think it is one of these things that doesn't really matter. what does it matter if he signs up for it. he has said. yes, if you are going to come out and say, you signed up for it. sign up for it. i wonder if they will allow cameras into capture that mo moment. thank you so much for your time. >> we want to hear from you. when do you think or do you think at all that the president will sign up for obama care? >> go to my facebook page. we'll read your comments by the end of the show.

>> the bipartisan budget deal in the senate. several republican senators are raising objections to the deals saying it increases spending while cutting benefits. what was the pitch for this bill. that it is a too year deal that will provide certainty or stability. that it will help the federal government spend more wisely. we have the opportunity to enact priorities for today. considering the changes in our own community and international changes.

>> some veterans are getting stiffed in this deal. >> that is one of the key elements that milt retirees were taking to this. new hampshire republican senator that those who have worn the uniform and those who were forced to retire or injuries suffered in combat or as part of the deal. said he opposes the package because of some of the spending caps. and question if the spending will actually be offset. it raises revenue from hard workiwork ing americans and promises to cut spending in the future.

we have already read that book. we will grow the government more now and the spending cuts will never materialize. >> status update now on the out-of-control government spending. you just heard the senator talking about it. nearly $30 billion in out rage us costs. among them were $278 million given to major nadal hassan since the 2009 massacre. more than $300,000 studies whether wives should calm down to help their marriages.

leslie marshal. this begs the question why now? why not before the launch of healthcare.g healthcare.gov? >> i would be richer than oprah winfrey if i could answer that question. i agree with you. this kills me. we created apple and ipad. i believe there is no excuse for the president or for anyone involved in health care.gov not to have met with these people earlier. i agree but i feel that they should have been met with earlier. >> it is such a pow ever packed meeting. you have the heads of the tech world in this meet iing.

the white house was not going to let cameras into the meeting. and then they allowed a camera to spray the room and show all briefly in atattendance. what do you make of that? >> the most open and transparent president in history is the least transparent in history. they had a fight last week demanding that they be given access so they can stop taking hand out photos from the government. the lap dogs at the white house, should boycott this unless they are going to allow reporters in. if you don't allow reporters in you don't go. >> some have boycotted those of publishing stock foe he toes. >> president obama can't say

good-bye to 2013 fast enough. the first was a tough one. several scandals his poll numbers are proof of the toll that it is taking. proof of the point in his second term. as you can see by the numbers there. leslie, what does this administration need to do to get the people back in their camp? >> there are two things that they need to do. when people go to vote that is what they care about number one. >> i think a lot of people find the first argument somewhat tough to believe because a lot

of the problems with obama care have not been because of the republicans, they have been because of obama care. >> that is right. the republicans have been taking shots at obama care since before obama care was voted on in the middle of the might. and it didn't have much effect. it wasn't until they opened the box and showed it to us all. and the poll numbers that no president since richard nixon. i heard ed henry mention this as well. has had poll numbers, this low. what can they do? they can start telling the truth. they have lost the confidence of the american people because they have told untruths so many times and everyone now knows it. how you regain the trust of the american people i don't know. 92 million people that would

drive the number higher. the american people aren't feeling this recovery. i think the president is in deep trouble. >> it will be interesting to see if the next shoe to drop if the news is good or more bad for bicycle. >> i have to wrap it there. >> in light of the school shooting in colorado. the guy who wrote a book on how to make a bomb. that book should be pulled. >> and the megamillions jackpot getting bigger today. will it soon reach # billi$1 bi? what do you think about it? did you buy a ticket? >> you can e-mail us at the real story. we will read your comments at the end of the show.

life. if anyone wants to read the letter it is at peta.org. it pleads with her to lay down her guns. there is nothing harsh about it. we think that it is now, when she has suffered a ter rising attack of her own. >> really? >> this was a mother bear who was trying to protect her cubs. the family acknowledges that she walked in between the mother and her cub. >> yeah yeah yeah but really when a woman a teenaged girl is potentially almost killed. >> she is a young woman, yes. >> almost killed and you kend her send her a letter to look at the perspective of the bear? >> number one the pleading to lay down the guns is one issue.

but the timing of the issue was harsh. the timing was in appropriate and it should have been done in a different timing or fashion and it is better to have someone from peta meet with her face to face and besides her young us because of the god-given act to do -- ability to do so. if hunting done with a away and guns are taken away so the animals knock be killed, the destruction of wildlife will be -- >> that's nonsense. >> loses the sphere of humans and that's where -- areas like pennsylvania and it's neighboring -- >> he is correct in the sense there's an overpopulation of these animals. that is fact and that is on the record. but lisa -- >> no, no, it's not. it's not actually correct. i don't want to let they stand, these hunters know if they're

trying to help the population of wildlife, they'd be killing off the weak and sick. they're killing the bucks so they can get the antlers and the healthy antlers. they're manipulating numbers. >> let's get back to the letter. are you really fulfilling the image and the correct messaging of peta when you send this kind of a her -- >> absolutely. >> put yourself in her shoes for a minute. forget the bear. >> that's what i want her to do. >> almost had her ear bitten off and almost tied from this attack, and then she gets a letter like that -- oh, so she didn't -- it was okay to send this kind of letter to her? she is a young woman -- >> it was. on a day that she -- she is a young woman. who actually has decided to go out and kill animals, and so she is old enough -- >> she has the right to do that. she lives in a free country. >> and we have the right to address it. >> the child -- [overlapping speakers]
